Legal

This is ChipBit's legal information section. Since our servers and head administrator are based in the United Kingdom, we are bound by the laws of the United Kingdom. However, because this is the internet, we also feel we should respect the laws of other countries our administrators and visitors come from, so for any conflicting points between each law, we attempt to 'make do' with what believe is best and fair. We, to the best of our knowledge, have followed all the necessary laws which allow us to do what we do. However, if there are still matters which need to be discussed in a legal matter, please contact James 'PixelDrift' Mayell, the owner of ChipBit, by emailing legal@chipbit.net.
